workspaceThumbnails: Move to primary monitor first when creating workspace (2.02 KB, patch)

committed Details | Review

Description Olivier Crête 2012-09-11 18:33:32 UTC
Pre-conditions:
1. Have two monitors.
2. Have at least two workspaces with windows in them
3. Have a window on the second monitor

Works:
- In overlay mode, drag a window from the second monitor to the current workspace
- In overlay mode, drag a window from the second monitor to another already existing working

Is broken:
- In overlay mode, drag a window from the second monitor to in between two workspaces (to create a new one).. That doesn't create a new workspace or move the window.
Comment 1 Olivier Crête 2013-02-27 18:33:11 UTC
Still happens in 3.6.3

workspaceThumbnails: Move to primary monitor first when creating workspace

When dragging a window preview from a non-primary monitor onto a
workspace thumbnail, the window is moved to the primery monitor
first before changing its workspace. However when dragging the window
between thumbnails to create a new workspace, it is kept on its current
monitor instead. This is not only inconsistent, but outright confusing
with the default 'workspaces-only-on-primary' setting, as the newly
created workspace is immediately removed again.
